This week was our county fair. I live in a small rural area. There are around 5000 people in our county. We had a very nice turn out in the 4-H and FF livestock shows. Approximately 130 animals were sold including beef, swine, sheep, and goats for just over $218,000. The youth had a lot of participants but about 50 less than last year.
As I walked through the exhibits buildings I noticed there were only 7 (yes 7) quilts entered this year in the open class. There were 15 in the 4-H and FFA category. I was so surprised by how few were entered. I saw that at least 3 of the 7 entries were from the same person. This is so sad. I never enter my own work as I usually run out of time or I forget the deadline. I am not sure if that happens to everyone or if this art is really dying in our area. Maybe I will get. something finished to enter next year.
